Also I don't hear anything in the beat to tune to, if there is supposed to be synths or something I would turn the drums down to about -12 to -6DB and whatever is in the background up to about the same. Most tracks are leveled between -12 and -6DB. Lowering your 808s to 50Hz and then gradually increasing the frequency by a semitone till it sounds right may also work.

Not sure what you mean by "proper." Maybe try 2 or 4 32nd notes with the 808s right before the snare hits to give it that "da-da-chick" sound. Also try the same thing with eighth note triplets "bum-bum-bum-chick."

Adding a hint of shuffle on the high hat and some 32nd note accents in the high hat also helps. One more thing, take an expected 808 beat out every once in a while, it adds tension.

I hope my little syllables made sense, not everyone knows what a 32nd note it, but trap abuses the hell out of them, and mixing triplets and a hint of swing to create some stagger in the beat (feel) is common.

Let me know if this helps.

Description : "Tears of the Moon" is just a melody practice of mine, so that's why it sounds a little sloppy, as always Don't forget to share your thoughts and ideas with me. They help me a lot with improving myself. Special thanks for KayOs2.

Description : Shorten My Days is a deeply personal prayer about examining the true intentions behind our relationship with God. It wrestles with the uncomfortable question of whether we seek Him because we genuinely love Him, or because of what we want from Him and the world around us. It is a plea for God to strip away selfish motives, sustain us through life's battles, and teach us to live in a way that brings glory to His name.
Guitar: Nameless.

Description : 'Main Barbaad Ho Gaya' means 'I got destroyed in loving you'. I had created this track last year. The vocals are AI. However the music and the tune is mine. Hope you enjoy this tragic love track. I was inspired by the Bollywood movie 'Saiyaara' when creating this track.

This started as a bandlab beat called Gridlock. Just mentioning in case someone wants to go get a clean version of the main backing track.
